D. & S. COMPANY
RUNSJMSED CAS
The Danville and Sunbuiy Street
Railway Company has pat a closed car
on its line, whioh is most highly ap
preciated by the traveling public, es
pecially those who wish to oross the
bridge or pass to and fro between
town and the Hospital for the Insane.
The Danville and Snnbary Electric
Railway Company lias had closed cars
ordered for some time. but as is apt to
oocnr in these bosy times moch delay
has ensued. O O. Yetter, Esq.. has
come to the rescue,however.and in or
der to make travel aomfortable for the
present has seonred a closed car of the
Colombia and Montour Company. It
is of a kind peculiar to that line with
a seat on eaoh aide rnnnlug parallel
with the oar. It was brought down
over the Danville and Bloomsburg line
late Saturday afternoon aooompanied
by Mr. Yetter and William Terwillig
er. the latter Superintendent of the
Columbia and Uontonr line.
Quite a spectacular performance was
involved in getting the car from the
present terminus of the Danville and
Bloomsbarg line opposite J. H. dole's
Hardware store, to the Danville and
Sunbury traok at the corner of Mill and
Uarket streets. While the track—be
longing to the Danville aud Blooms
barg Company -is laid on Mill street
between the two points above named,
owing to the hold-op at the D. L. &
W. crossing, the overhead work has
never been completed. The rails prov
ed a valuable assistance in moving the
oar but electrioity oonld not be brooght
Into play as a motive power. In lien
thereof two stont horses were hitohed
to the oar in front, while about forty
boys with a free ride in prospoet took
hold of the oar behind aud at the sides
and helped to pnsh it along.
This was about six o'olock. The rar
attraoted muoh attention, no one los
ing (iglit of the faot that it was the
iflst trolley oar that had ever passed
through Mill street. A good many
thought that the fact that a trolley
oar had after all crossed the D. L. &
W. tracks ought to be signalized in
■ome way. The frog laid down in the
faoe of so muah protest was found to
anawer admirably and the firßt trolley
oar that passed rolled over it with
very little jar.
Tbe closed oar was immediately
pressed into servtoe and oa ried a good
many passengers on Saturday night.
It is au improvement immensely ap
preciated by the pnblio, who have no
desire to faoe the rigors of the weath
er on tlie big iron bridge at this Rea
son of the year. It would have to be
an exceptional day indeed when a per
son would prefer walking at that
point.
Will There Be a Coal Strike?
The question uppermost in the an
tharoite region is," Will there be strike
or lockout at the termination of the
present agreement botween mine own
ers and mine workers on April 1
next?"
The recent demonstration in honor
of John Mitchell Day had added to
the anxiety of business men, at least
in the upper region, according to a
Soranton dispatch, and canned tliem
to regard the outlook with grave mis
givings.
Meantime, all President Mitchell's
utterances breath peaoe. In his speech
el he has expressed himself as hopeful
of a harmonious adjustment,and there
oan be uo doubt that he sincerely de
sires such a result, but it will dt>poud
entirely on two things, to wit. the
determination of the men in their de
mand for an eight hour day and re
cognition of the onion and the at
titude of the mine owners toward this
proposition.
Should the men insist upon the ex
ercise of this Btreugth for the enforce
ment of their demaud, and should
President Baer, of the Beading Uom
pany.and his associates refuse to grant
that demaod.what then? The qnestiou
is one of even greater and more far
reaching interest than that which pre
oipitated the striko of 1902,f0r the rea
son that it will be raised at a time
when the exolting contract will expire
in the anthraoite and bituminous re
gions, and nearly 500,000 men engaged
In the prodactiou of coal will be ready
to make common cause.
This seuse of power will he to get
confidence aud make it a-diflicult mat
ter for Mitohell to reoede even in case
lie should desire to do so for the put
pose of averting a strike. The presi
dent of the Mine Workers enjoys the
confidence of his supporters, hot. -hou hi

Harry Nuss, living near Maitivill ,
shot one of the I ear cubs that have
created quite a chase for a number of
hunters. The mother of the cub was
killed by hunters near Blootnsburg
last week. The cub was hard chased
by dogs aud when it found the dogs

FIVE KILLED
IN WRECK
The worst wreck that has occurred
on the D. L. & W. Railroad iu many
yeais took place yesterday foreuoon
two miles west of Hunlock's Creek
directly opposite Retreat. It was a
head-on collision, between passenger
train 704, which passes this city at
10:19 a. m.and an extra frioght train
drawn by enigue No. 204.
THE DEAD.
Henry Greenwood, baggage master,
Sorauton.
Albert Stookey, fireman, passenger
train, Scranton
Chailes Snyder, engineer freight
traiu, Northumberland.
Charles Graham, express messenger,
Scranton.
Fireman Ringsdorf, freight train.
Twelve or more were injured,among
them being Mrs. Emerick, wife of the
proprietor of the Ten Cent Store,
this city ; Dane Kingsbury, foreman
on D. L. & W. improvements and
knowu here, who had his leg crushed,
skull frautured and back hurt; also
Charles Krug. the well known con
tractor of Berwick. Frank Poole en
gineer of passenger traiu of Scranton,
was badly injured and at first reported
dead. Arm torn off and lacerated scalp.
Christian Beavers, who according to
first reports was fatally injured it was
learned later escaped with but slight
injuries.
The ooltision was oue of the most
terrific ever wituessed, as the trains,
which were proceeding in opposite
directions,were running not less than
80 miles an hour and crashed together
BO Buddenly, so unexpectedly, that it
drove terror into everv heart.
The scenes after the accident can
better be imagined than pictured, for
all abont were injured people, groan
ing and crying out with pain, cirs
were driven one into the other aud the
engines were a mass of jumbled iron
and wireß.
There were a number ol passengers
uninjured on the train, aud they went
to work at once, releasing ihe unfor
tunate men from the wreckage. It was
hard to get at some, as they were pen
ned in on all sides by wire, iron and
wood. However, the best possible was
done under the conditions. The peo
ple at Honlock and at Shickßhiuny
threw open their homes and the dead
and injured were taken there.
The officials, as 60011 as notified, iu
turn requested all the physicians at
Nanticokc, Plymouth aud Kingston to
board the special train, which was
made up in the Kingston yards and
proceed at onoe to the SCPUO. The offi
cials also took the hospital car. Many
of the injured were oared for in the
latter.
The doctors worked like trojans,
bandaging injured and bruised limbs
laoerated parts aud in one casr-au am
putation had to be made. Some diffi
culty was experienced in rescuing the
unfortunate people from the wrecked
cars, as at iuteivals it looked as ir the
woodwork of llie cais would be ignit
ed by the burning coals in the de
stroyed engine?.
The passengers, the farmers aud the
residents of Huuloun.aud Shickshinny
were tireless in their efforts to be of
servioe.
The first news of the accident reach
ed this«ity early after noon. It spread
like wildfire aud the rumots were
numerous aud variod. Some said there
was aB high as ten killed, other* de
clared that it was even more, but an'
investigation proves that five train
bauds met their death,and about niue
passengers were more or less injured,
but not fatally.
Mrs A. M. Dielil, of this city, and
John O. Havens, who is engaged in
getting out a souvenir book here, were
al-o on the train but esoaped iuiury.
According to the best information a
train was made up in the Kiugston ■
yard and ordered to piooeed to North- 1
umberlaud. The offioials allege that
the crew was notified to wait at West
Naulicoke for the New Yoik flyer, to
paßs. They misunderstood the orders,
or did uot comprehend their import,
for they passed the siding and even
moved by Hunlock's Creek at a rapid
rate of speed.
It was evident that tlio crew was
tryiug to make the siding at Sliick
shiuny, and labored under tin opinion
that the passenger train, whioli is a
New York flyer would meet them
! there. The operator at ShicbEhinny
! 'ays h™ did not receive any informa
< lion regirdiug the extra, and while
the hossig it Nantlcoko saw it pass,
\ yet paid uo attention, believing it to
tie oner orders and therefore hail the
right of the way.
This fitul freight weut on its way
and on the single track, a short dist
ance below Hemlock's Creek and op
posite Ketreat Hospital, while rouud
iug a curve with the canal on one side
and tfie steep mountains on the other,
the trains met in one of these death
dealing crashes, which drives terror
. into every heart.
When the crash ocourred both en
gines were riised slightly off the rails
as if one was trying to master the
< other. There was a lull in the uiove
; men?, but the freight was the heaviest
I and it pressed the passenger back
through its tender into the biggage
s oar, dealing death aud destruction in
its way.

GEO. MARSHALL'S
TERRIBLE PLIGHT
George Marshall, who resides on
Railroad street,near the Borough line,
late Saturday night was found lying
close to the big spring near the D. L.
& W. station iu a state of semi-oon
sciousness, with his face covered with
blood and suffering from the effects of
other injuries of a serious nature.
Most people believed that he was a
victim of fonl play until Sunday
morning when his hat was fonnd ly
ing on the high P. & R. trestling im
mediately above that spot, Indicating
that while attempting to cross he fell
to the ground,a distance of some thirty
'eat.
He was discovered about 10-30
'o'clock Saturday night. William Rit
ter, Jr., Railroad street, while re
turning home heard some one groan
ing in the viciuity of the big spring.
He informed his father of the fact and
the latter started out to investigate.
Arriving at the spring he found the
man still groaning and not wholly
consoioup. He repaired to the house
ol Wesley DeShay.D. L. & W. avenoe,
and reported what had occurred. Mr.
DeSltay lighted a lautern anil the two
men returned to the spring. The in
jured man was unrecognizable owing
to the blood which was clotted about
his faoe and he could not tell any
thing about himself.
The news soon reached Eugene Moy
er'c hotel, opposite the D. L. & W.
station, and several nit it at once went
over to the spring to lend assistance.
The injured man was carried over to
the station and placed upon the oug
gagu truck Dr. Stock was called and
pending his arrival the man was car
ried into the hotel and placed on a
cot. Ho was conscious for a moment
at a time. He recognized a couple of
persons, bnt instantly lapsed into in
sensibility and no satisfactory auswer
could b>) obtaiued to the questions.
Despite the most diligent search his
hat oonld not be found anywhere near
the spring, which was regarded as a
singular circumstance.
At the physician's advice about mid
night the man was removed to liis
home. His injuries were found to con
sist of a broken pelvis, a badly sprain
ed wrist, besides several cuts about
the face. Dr. Stock said Sunday
that the injury to the pelvis is quite
serious,not due so much to the broken
bone alone as to the complications
that might ensue.
The injured man is a puddler em
ployed at the Structural Tubing plant.
He is thirty odd years of age and has
a wife and two children.
Wesley DeShay had a theory that
the mail sustained his injury by fall
ing from the high P. & R. trestling
which crosses the D. L. & W. railroad
at the spring. To satisfy himself af
ter daylight Sunday morning he
climbed the trestling and there sure
enough he fouud the missing hat,
which lay on the platfoim beside the
track forming the roof of the ooal
bins. The hat lay on a spot immedi
ately above where the man was found,
which settles the question as to how
the injuries were sustained. Under
the most favorable circumstances the
man will be confined to his home for
many weeks.
Guardsmen Earn fledals.
The season for qualifying with rifle
and revolver for the National Ouard
of Pennsylvania closed on October 81st.
Connected with the showing made by
Company F are some interesting facts
rotating to long-term record', medtls,
etc.
The local company held up the stand
ard of former years qualifying sixty
men as follows: One sharpshooter,
twenty marksmen, fifteen first class
men, twenty-four second class men.
Owing to failure of six men to quali
fy for various reasons the compauy's
figure of merit will be R7.8 per oeut.
| The total fcore must be divided by the
Tyliole number, fiO, and not by fiO, the
S actual number qualifying. Thus it
j will be seen to what extent the show
| in 14 might have been improved had all
'qualified. The officers are required to
[qualify with revolver as well as witn
i rifle.
Compauy F this year is fortunate in
haviug two men entitled to the ten
year gold modal. In order to win thiß
meilat a man must have shot ten con
secutive years. The two members of
the ooinpany who have complied and
have won ttie ten-year medal are
Quartermaster Sergeant Geoige R.
Gross aud Private William 11. Fry.
Lieutenant Frank Keefer has this
year earned a fourteeu-year pennant
that carries with it a distinction of
haviug shot fourtern consecutive
years. Besides this year's winners
there are only two membors of the
company who have won ten years'
medals—Captain J. Beaver Qearhart.
and Sergeant William R. Watts.
Captain Oeailiart was the first to
send in complete returns for his com
pany to Captain Uodoharlos,lnspector
of Rifle Practice for the Twelfth Regi
meut
Basket Ball rianagements.
A great many people have a confus
ed idea about the managements of the
basket ball teams in this city. For the
benefit of those who are not clear on
this point the managers of the three
ti'Hmß are given below :
The Montour Basket Ball Associa
tion, William Eilenbogen.

COOK WINS OUT
FOR COMMISSIONER
Major O. P. Gearliart, Democrat,
wins out for District Attorney, Ilia
vote being 1253 as against 1047 for
Ralph Eisner, Republican, and pres
ent incumbent of the oilioe.
Charles W. Cook, Republican, won
out over Olarenoe W. Seidel, Demo
crat The two candidates ran very
close and until yesterday morning
when the offloial returns were brought
in the result was in doubt. Oook's
vote was 1015 and Seidel's 942, giving
the former a majority of 78. George
M. Leighow, Democrat, and George
R. Seohlor. Republican, were elected
by a vote of 1187 aud 1093 respective
ly. Persons familiar with af
fairs about the Court House yester
day were unable to recall a time be
fore in the history of the County when
there were two Republicans on the
Roard of Connty Commissioners.
Frank G. Blee, Democrat, was re
elected Associate Judge with a total
of 1553 votes. Cyrus F. Btvers, the
Prohibition candidate, made a most
creditable run, considering that his
name did not appear on the ballot but
was merely inserted in the blauk spaoe
at the ploasnre of the voter. He re
ceived a total of 73 votes. Charles Ut
termiller aud Asa D. Oroßsley, Pro
hibition candidates for Connty Com
missioner received a total of 19 aud 47
votes respectively.
J. H. Woodside Republican, for
County Auditor wins out with a total
of 945 votes. Thomas VanSant and
Amandus Sliultz, Democrats, lor tbe
same ofiice have 1131 aud 941 votes re
spectively. Thomas B. Yerg and W.
H. Mauser,the Prohibition candidates
for County Auditor,made a very gpod
run, polling 116 and 135 votes respec
tively.
The totals for the State offlaes as
presented in the revised table in this
issue show some interesting figures.
Little Montonr was undoubtedly a
factor in bringing about the landslide
in favor of William H. Berry, the
Democratic candidate for State Treas
urer. the latter's vote here being 1451
as against J. Lee Plummer's 508, a
majority for Berry of 883. In 1904
Montour County gave a majority of
lfili for Roosevelt over Parker.
Died From Looking at Wrecks.
Henry M. Loe, of Syracuse. New
York, a traveling salesman, succumb
ed to an attack of heart trouble at the
St. Charles Hotel in Berwick last
night that was induced by the Bight
of the D. L. & W. wreok at Hanlook's
Creek, whioli the man was compelled
to pass when the passengers OD the
train due here at 4 :33 were transfer
red.
Mr. Lee waß visibly affeoted at the
spectacle of the wreck,and near Sliick
shinny his condition became sOßerious
that a physician was summoned to the
train.
Mr. Lee arrived at Berwiok a few
minutes before five o'olook, the train
being late. He got into the bas with
out aid, but lost consciousness while
being driven to the hotel. Dr. Pfahler
had been summoned bat he ooald do
nothing for the unfortunate man. He
died at eight minutes after five o'olook.
The deceased was about 65 years of
age, aud represented the Syracuse
Springs Company.

TO FIGHT SAN
JOSE IN MONTOUR
W. H. Brinkorhoff.of Shippensburg,
orchard demonstrator and traveling
representative ot the State Department
of Agrionlture.was in this oity yester
day in the interests uf the determined
fight that has been instituted by the
Stale against the San Jose scale. Ur.
Brinkerhoff has made arrangements to
conduct a public demonstration In the
Grand Jury Boom on Thursday, Nov
ember lftth, at 10 o'clook.
Ur. Brinkerhoff is a member of a
cuis of 22 men who recently under
went a coarse of inßtrnotion on San
Jose Scale at State College. The State
has been divided into distriots, each
of the men in the class being giveu
one of these districts. Thiß district,
the 21st, is comprised of Moutour,Col
umbia, Noithambeiland and Bohuyl
kill counties. After the demonstration
in the Urand Jury rcorn, Mr. Rrinker
holt will hold demonstrations in the
orchards of auy persona whoso desire.
Mr. Brinkerhoff is thoroughly ac
quainted with the subject of San JOBB
Bcale, and talked very interestingly
about it yesterday. He said that the
soale brought to this country on
some Japaneso plums about twelve
years ago,and gained its first foot hold
in Oalilornia. From thence it came to
New Jersey and since then it has
, spread throughout Pennsylvania.
The southern portions of the State
are iufested with it the worst, the
quantity of the scale growing lass to
ward the north. The scale, however,
is spreading rapidly, and millions of
dollars worth of fruit, frnit trees, or
namental trees and shnrbbery have
been destroyed in Pennsylvania dar
ing recent years. The pest is so in-°
conspicuous that It has destroyed
many orohards without owners know
ing the cause of the trouble. It oan
be detected only by an expert or by
one who had seen it,and it can be sno-
I oessfu'ly treated only by special meth
ods which the Division of Zoology
of the State Department of Agrlcul
tare is arranging to demonstrate.
At the meeting iu the Grand Jnry
room which is for the purpose of
starting the work of exterminating the
scale iu Montour county, determining
where the scale occurs as far aB possi
ble and making appointments for looal
spraying demonstrations. Mr Brink
erhoS will be aocompaiiifd by State
Zoologist Surface or one of his rpgalar
assistants from Harrisburg. All per
sous Interested are invited to attend
and bring specimens of infested fruit
and twigs for inspection, hear the ad
dresses. meet the State's representa
tives, help arrauge places for crohard
demonstrations and praotical spraying
and save their trees. The State bears
all the expense.
Next Court Will be Unique.
Ooort will convene on next Monday
with Judge Staples presiding. At the
session in September the constables
made their reports and the Qraud Jnry
acted upon all the bills that were ready.
Nothing remains for next week there
fore, but to prooeed with the trial of
ra«es. The session of court will be
one of the most important that lias
taken place in this oounty for many
years. Aside from the volume of busi
ness that has accuimilati d 'during the
' | long interim xiiiue court several of
' i the cases to be trind involve charges
' j of a very s rious nature —murder, at
tempt to roi uml murder, j til break
~ | iug, &u. The whole week will no
' i doubt bo oooapied.
- | The ooait will be an adjourued ses
-111 sion and will be unique iu that there
6 | will be no grand jury nor constables
1 in attendance.

CHRISTIAN LOEH
BADLY INJURED
As the result of a very painful in
jury onuaed by a red hot bar of irou
ploughing through the flesh at the
calf of his leg Christian Loeh, boss
idler at the Structural Tubiug Works
lies I eilfast at Ills home on Church
street.
The accident is a very bad one, as
aside from the laoeratiou the aotlon
of the hot uon on the wound is such
as to seriously delay healing. The
112l j sh including the muscles was sever
ed into the region of the bone, al
though the doctors believe that the
bone itsidf is not injured.
Mr. Ijoeh was seen by a representa
tive of the Morning News Saturday
evening nnd he told how it happened.
Ir was an accident for whioh he pure
ly was responsible aloue Prepara
tions were being made Saturday morn
ing, he said, for ohauging rolls and a
uew roll had just beeu brought down
to the spot. Mr. Loeh was bosy with
thh roll and in giving some directions
took a couple of steps backward in
front of a red-hot bar of iron, whioh
at that moment shot through the rolls.
It struck his left leg at the fleshy part
below the knee laying the flesh open
into the bone. Some idea of the terri
ble injury may be formed when it is
explained that the hot bar, whioh was
one of fuur inches by three-sixteenths
of an inch, upon coming in contaot
with Mr. Lceh'a leg was beut upwards
by ttio lorce of the blow.
The iujered man reciel over to a
bench ami prooeednd to examiue liis
leg, the sickening flow of blood at once
indicating the extent of the injury.
Mr. Loeh was carried by his fellow
workmeu over to the millwright's
quarters, where at his own direction
his limb was tightly bandaged to stop
the flow of blood.
In 11 short time Dr. Curry repsundtd
to a hurry oall and after temporarily
dressing the wound, drove Mr. Loeli
to his home on Cliuroh street, where
later Dr. R. S. Patton was called to
assist. The wound was stitolled as
well as It could be nnder the oiroum
stances and Saturday night and yester
day the man was resting fairly well.
No serious complications are looked
for but just what the full effects of
the injury may be it is a little too
early to predict.
Mr. Loeh has beeu an iron worker
for forty-three years; nine years of
this time he was employed Iu Ger
many. Iu this loug period lie has sus
tained many injuriea as are attested
by the numerous scars that may be
seen 011 his stalwart frame. He ao-
knowledges, however, that the present
injury, is the worst that he ever sus
tained.

WANT EXTENSION
' OF WATER SYSTEM
The subject of polea oocnpied a good
deal of time before the Borough Oonn
i oil Friday. Danville is bad
i ly disfigured with polea.it la true, bat
they yield a revenue to the Borough aa
was shown by the Treasurer's state
ment last night, in whioh an item of
$9K2.30 appeared for pole tax, wliiob
represented three companies. It de
veloped, however, that the companies
have not complied with the Borougb
ordinance by plaoing upon their re
spective poles the nnmber and initial!
of the company owning them. Aa a
result it is impossible to keep track of
the polea and no one in the employ ot
the Borough seems to know whether
all are being paid for or not. The
matter was disoussed at some length
when on motion of Ur. Dietz, second
ed by Mr. Jacobs, it was deoided that
the owners of all telephone, telegraph,
eleotrio light, trolley and other polea
be ordered to comply with the Bor
ough ordinauoe inside of thirty days.
When the ordinauoe is complied with
aud the poles are marked as required
Ihe Chlef-of-Police according to on«-
torn will proaeed to oount the polei
and see to it that the aocoonta are all
oorrect.
Mr. Jacobs called attention to the
dirty condition of many of the alleya
abont town. It was explained that the
keeping of the alleys clean and sanit
ary devolves upon the Street Oommii
sioner. It was the sense of the mem
bers that ash piles and heaps of man
ure are out of place in publio alleya
and should not be permitted to re
main.
Mr. Reifsnyder called attention to
the fact that the overooats belonging
to the police officers have beoome very
seedy aud that rather than wear them
the officers are going without over
ooats. The Borough years ago set the
preoedeut of purohasing overcoats for
the officers aud Mr. Reifsuyder moved
that an overuoat be purchased for eaoh
of the officers, the cost not to exoeed
t!4. Mr. Sweiefort seconded the mo
tion. whioh carried unanimously.
Mr. Boyer of the Committee on*
Sewers reported that the ettenaioni
ordered have all been completed with
exception of the one at the Ctinries
□halfant properties on West Mahoning
street.
Howard Ward, of Qnliok's Addi
tion, on behalf of the residents of that
Addition appeared beforo Council ask
ing that the Borough water system be
extended in that part of town. Aa it
stands now the residents of Unlitk'i
Addition are without fire proteotion.
The nearest main is on Wall strret at
the D. L. & W. Railroad, the plug be
ing locsted at Mr. Reefer's premises.
Persons who would like to build in
Quliok's Addition, it ia alleged, are
deterred from doing so by the lack of
water facilities there. Thus it is olaim
ed the pooplo of that part of town
suffer,notwithstanding that tiiey have
been bearing their burden ot taxation
for thirty years or more. On motion
of Mr. Reifsnvder the matter waa re
ferred to the Committee on Water.
Treasurer Ellenbogen presented a
tatement of finances to date, whioli
liowed a total cash balauoe on hand
if $8,833.43.
On motion an order was drawn in
avor of the Firemen's Relief Assooia
ion for |141.12, wliioh had been re
leived from the State.
Mr. Reiisuyder of the Committee on
Itreets and Bridges reported progress
a the matter of street paving on East
Market street. Some details in th«
natter of purvey, which remain to b«
attended to has had the effeot of cani
ng delay.
The following members were prei
int: Vastine, Reifsnyder, Sweisfort,
